      I understand, but keep in mind it could be an innocent user whose phone is taken over by malware, better be safe than sorry.

          A spoofed number only works going out, but if you respond, it would go to the real person instead (the same if you call the spoofed number back, you’d get the real person and not the spammer). Since this bot is responding to their replies, it can’t be a spoofed number.
